Running SuSE 10.3 with a Seagate Barracuda ST3250620A drive. Twice on
boot up GRUB paused for a significant length of time at stage1 but
eventually booted. Today during the init scripts I got a time out
waiting for one of the partitions to presumably mount. I am running the
smartd daemon.
Running smartctl as root with -H reports "PASSED" for the drive and "-l
error" states that there is no error log. The current drive was
purchased relatively recently when these tools presented a "drive
failing" message to me one day.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Yes, I ***DID*** back up my data
when these events took place...
